The Perfect Picture Frame

The Perfect Picture Frame Enhances Your Living Space

Okay, you have the perfect picture, you know the size, and now you need the perfect picture frame to show it off. A little thought into choosing the perfect picture frame will complement your room, adding interest and showing visitors what's important to you . . . your interests, family and friends. Here are a couple of guidelines to help you choose the perfect picture frame.

Determine The Tones Of The Picture

Does the picture have warm tones or cooler tones? Warm tones (reds, yellows, browns, oranges) tend to show better in gold picture frames or black picture frames. Cool tones (blues, grays, blacks) tend so show well in silver picture frames.

Wood Burl Picture Frames, Rustic Wood Picture Frames

Wood Burl picture frames are great around warm pictures and add warmth to a room. Also great for diplomas, awards. Rustic wood picture frames enhance rustic rooms, rustic country decor.

Vintage Photographs & Narrow Vintage Picture Frames

Old Vintage photos (like your grandmother or ancestors) are often sepia toned (brown tones) black and white photos. These look great in narrow vintage silver picture frames, picture frames that have a silver base with a gold/sepia wash to give the appearance of a vintage 1920's era picture frame. Choosing the correct narrow vintage picture frames will compliment your ancestor and add charm to your room.

Your Decor

What's your decor? Choose a picture frame that fits your decor. A contemporary picture frame will look out of place in a traditional or country decor. Usually you will gravitate to a picture frame that will work in your decor as you chose the decor! Shabby Chic picture frames with distressed picture frames moulding are great for a casual decor.

Picture Frame Groupings

I love little picture frame groupings around the house. I try to choose similar picture frames with the same tonal ranges for the each picture frame grouping, it gives it a casual coordinated look. A nice picture frame grouping of different antique silver frames with multi-generational pictures can be the highlight of a living room. One frame is the grandchildren, the other my grandmother, another . . . Be creative with your picture frame groupings!

With so many choices available, it's easy to find the perfect picture frame! Enlarge each frame and hold your picture up to the monitor to see if they complement each other, a little effort choosing the right picture frame will give you years of enjoy.
